A DRY JOKE.
To the Editor. Dear Sir,—During last week, in extending a welcome to a party of boys, the Mayor made reference to the sun we get in Christchurch. Of course, boys will be boys, and must have their jokes. At tlie same time, he also referred to other parts of the Dominion as being rain-soaked places. I hope Mr Archer does not forget that we also get a good deal of rain in Christchurch. I’m not one of those narrow-minded ones who car* see no other city but my own. I m just as ready to admit the faults of our town as anyone. I think Mr Archer must always wear his sun-col-oured glasses, or else have sun spots on his eyes. Presuming the Mayor’s joke to be right, how does it accord with Dr Thacker’s verdict that Christ church is seething with disease? Science teaches us the sun is the mighty healer for all diseases. Evidently it’s taking a long time to work wonders here - 1 am, etc. MOONLIGHT.
